No more 'COLD-BRIDGES'

The extensive UK housebuilding agenda and efforts to build the economy post-COVID are just some of the factors placing renewed pressure on build times.


Coupled with rapidly evolving zero-carbon regulations and the increasing frequency of extreme weather conditions caused by climate change, those working in the construction industry – as well as private individuals – face their most trying times ever when it comes to keeping up with these combined demands.


Added to this, legislation is constantly moving the goalposts when it comes to the standards developers need to meet, as users’ expectations increase around the comfort, longevity, sustainability and robustness of their built environments.


‘Cold bridges’, which allow moisture and cold air to ingress into properties, exacerbated by traditional materials like moisture-absorbent cement and mortar, will soon be outlawed.


Our expanded clay brick building systems use a specially formulated, water-resistant foam mortar alternative called Tytan Cement from foundation level, eradicating such problems.


So, whether your project is big or small, you’ll be pleased to hear that we can offer a radical alternative, in the form of expanded clay bricks.

More strength, less weight

Expanded clay bricks are much lighter than traditional clay bricks – meaning that more can be transported in every load, reducing cost and timescales for delivery – as well as creating less fatigue among your busy workforce.


Expanded clay bricks also have more strength than traditional clay bricks  – eradicating the limits on how high you can go in each build stage before allowing drying time.


They are also superbly resistant to water and damp, removing the threat of cold bridges to maximise the heating efficiency of properties and offer excellent resistance against weather extremes like flooding.

bricks or blocks

Available in various sizes, as bricks or blocks, expanded clay bricks are perfect for any height of buildings.


We can also supply acoustic blocks, which have excellent noise-cancelling properties without the need to install additional sound-proofing, for use in developments such as apartment buildings, saving the cost and space required for the kinds of additional materials typically used in combination with traditional bricks.


Not only that, but expanded clay bricks are so water-resistant, they can even be used to build structures in water or water-saturated environments. And the thermal versions we supply are fantastic for saving energy and helping to regulate temperatures in more extreme environments.

FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • What makes expanded clay bricks different from other types of bricks used in the construction industry, and why should I choose them?

    Expanded clay bricks are 3 times lighter than traditional clay bricks, making them more cost-effective to work with because more bricks can be transported in every load and they reduce the fatigue of construction teams.


    Expanded clay bricks are also extremely weather and moisture-resistant, naturally protecting buildings from extreme cold and heat – and enabling construction on water-logged or even under-water sites.


    They also come in thermal and acoustic versions, which provide additional heat and noise-locking properties without the need to waste valuable space and money installing additional material barriers that are typical of clay brick alternatives.

  • What kinds of buildings are expanded clay bricks suitable for?

    Supplied as either bricks or blocks, expanded clay products are suitable for all levels of construction from skyscrapers, and larger housing developments to home extensions.

  • What are your typical supply times for expanded clay bricks?

    Depending on the size of your project and its specific requirements, we can usually supply expanded clay bricks within four weeks of ordering.

  • Does building with expanded clay bricks require special skills and training?

    This can be used as a more efficient, lighter replacement than breeze blocks

  • How does the price of expanded clay bricks compare with traditional bricks and blocks?

    All things considered, including lower transport costs resulting from being able to transport more expanded clay bricks up to 3 times more on a single load and faster construction times as well as these bricks being lighter for your workforce to carry, these products can reduce development costs.

  • How competitive are your prices compared to other suppliers of this product?

    We are the only suppliers of expanded clay bricks in the UK. We work hard to ensure we consistently offer good value with all the products we supply. Even where our alternative options cost more to purchase than traditional materials, we are confident that overall they save significant amounts of outlay in terms of energy, time, transport and remedial work compared to traditional builds which are increasingly prone to failing after a few years due to damp, flooding or extremes of weather and temperature.

  • What are the credentials of expanded clay bricks and how do I know that I can have faith in using them for my building?

    Expanded clay bricks have been commonplace as a building material in Europe and other parts of the world for many years and have stood the test of time in environments that are typically hotter, wetter and colder than in the UK. Therefore, you can rest assured that these traditional brick alternatives are more than capable of delivering on everything British buildings require.

"Traditional bricks take four times longer to build, are far less weather-resilient, require expensive additional materials and allow valuable heat to escape. By contrast, our expanded clay bricks save time and money – as well as the environment saving more than 80% than using traditional cement"
